SOURCES OF KAPPA SIGMA HISTORY 

The object of this pubHcation is to give a list of citations 
^ to material for all the paragraphs or topics which should be 

set out in writing a history of the Kappa Sigma Fraternity 
from its foundation in America in December, 1869, to the 
establishment of the Fraternity's magazine in October, 1885, 
when the printed history of the Fraternity begins. 

It also directs a seeker for information to an authoritative 
account of any event of the Fraternity's American history 
up to October, 1885. 

Citations are to the Kappa Signm Quarterly (magazine), 
The Caduceus of Kappa Sigma (magazine). The Star and 
Crescent of Kappa Sigma (periodical), the first and second 
editions of the Kappa Sigma Book, Early Letters and Papers 
of Kappa Sigma, Kappa Sigma Records. The first edition 
of the Kappa Sigina Book, Early Letters and Papers of 
Kappa Sigma and the Kappa Sigma Records, the last being 
four volumes in MSS., are compilations of Boutwell Dunlap. 
The second edition of the Kappa Sigma Book was compiled 
by Finis King Farr. 

In order to preserve for historical record the origin of 
statements, it is mentioned that the compiler, Boutwell 
Dunlap, is the author or collector of all citations that are not 
followed by a star (*). The authorship of other citations is 
sometimes stated in the article cited.

During twenty years the compiler, Boutwell Dunlap, has 
published in The Caduceus biographies of and biographical 
notes on, it is estimated, at least 4,000 of the initiates of the 
Fraternity — especially, those of the first part of its history. 
Among the latter are biographies of members not par- 
ticularly mentioned in the above syllabus of the period, 
1869-1885, as connected with its strictly ''historical" events, 
as well as those of the same period connected with such 
events. 

References in the foregoing citations to the biographies 
of either of these last two classes would obscure the con- 
tinuity and confuse the reader of the historical narrative. 
They are more properly to be used as material for a 
Fraternity catalogue or biographical collection. Besides, 
biographies become obsolete with new facts in careers. 
Therefore, except in the case of the Founders at Virginia, 
or where some biography contains a historical statement, 
they have been omitted in the references. 

It is believed that no other fraternity has in its possession 
so many photographs of its early historical members as those 
listed above. Some alumni, whose likenesses are missing, 
have pleaded, through modesty, that their publication by 
Kappa Sigma be omitted. In addition to these, the Fra- 

— 27— "

ternity has printed photographs of a number of its collegians 
of this period who became distinguished, but are not cited. 
While interjection of biographies of these is not pertinent 
to a history, still, if a history of the Fraternity be published, 
an attractive addition to the volume would be the inter- 
spersion through the text for 1869-1885 of photographs of 
the following initiates of those years. They — like a number 
of those with references in the foregoing — have become 
distinguished men in either their states or the nation :

Brock — Caduceus, XXIII, 3* ; Samuel Macon Smith — Cadticeus,

Caduceus, XXXII, 12*; DeWitt Coffman— Caduceus, XXXII, 14*, 
XXXIV, 374* ; Robert Henry WRtkins— Caduceus, XXXIV, 630*. 



The ana of the Fraternity contains a large number of 
photographs of the buildings and campus scenes of the 
various colleges and universities where Kappa Sigma Chap- 
ters were established, 1869-85. These, if it be desired, might 
be used to illustrate a historical narrative of these years.
